Electronics
The control system in the 9100X is an electronic brain with 14 high level logic, integrated circuits (IC’s). electronics has replaced mechanics, and each control is carried out firmly and precisely by a light touch on the keyboard 9100X “thinks for itself”. The electronics and the tape-tensioning mechanism always ensure that the tape is transported correctly. Connected to a remote control system (an accessory) all logic functions can be controlled from a distance of 5 meters. 9100X has all the qualities that Tandberg tape recorder are renowned for; echo, recording with sound-on-sound, A- and B-test of programmes. The B-test is a particularly important feature because it facilities close control of recording quality. There are 4 input controls, 2 for microphone inputs and 2 for line input (radio with record player or another tape recorder), and sound sources in stereo or mono. The microphone inputs in 9100X are balanced. This means that unwanted electrical noise from e. g. vacuum cleaners or foodmixers does not affect the recording.

Tandberg Crossfield Recording Technique
This is a special recording technique found only in Tandberg tape recorders. With this technique the tape is magnetized right through and is therefore capable of receiving very strong signals and reproducing them as crystal clear sound without distortion. The Tandberg Crossfield recording technique provides a safety margin against overload, particularly in the highest tone register which is the most critical region when recording.


Peak Level  Meters
The level meters are in the professional class. They always shows the strongest part of the sound – exactly that part which becomes distorted if the magnetic tape is overloaded. With the Tandberg Crossfield recording technique and the peak level meters you can fully exploit a tape’s qualities.

Photo-electric Stop
The forward drive stops automatically at the end of the tape or if the tape is transparent

Monitoring During Fast Winding/Editing
This functions (Edit/Cue) facilities listening to the tape during fast winding or rewinding. Consequently it is easy to find your way on the tape and to edit the recordings

Professional Mechanics
Correct reproduction demands high accuracy in the design and construction of the tape path. Therefore the complete tape guidance system in the 9100X is mounted on a stable base plate which ensures that the tape is correctly guided passed the magnetic heads. There are 3 motors – 2 for winding in either direction and one for forward drive. The winding motors work also as mechanical breakes. Together with the closed loop and the magnetic controlled friction breakes they ensure gentle treatment of the tape.
